Laser Tattoo Removal
Pico and ND:YAG Tattoo Removal
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Nd:YAG & PICOSECOND TATTOO REMOVAL?
Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser has a longer pulse duration of nanoseconds, while Picosecond Laser has a much shorter pulse duration of picoseconds. Meaning Picosecond Lasers can deliver shorter, more powerful bursts of energy, allowing for faster and more precise treatment. However Nd:YAG laser are often more widely used as the can have provide a wide range of pigmentation treatments. Here at Maidenhead Aesthetics we offer both.
IS IT PAINFUL?
Most people would think with Pico laser being a lot faster than other methods of tattoo removal, that it may be more painful, however a lot clients say they experience less pain, than more traditional lasers. It is not pain free with many people saying it feels like the ping of an elastic band, however if you already had a tattoo, you can definitely handle the pain of removal. Remember at your free consultation we will also patch test you, so you see if any pain is felt.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
Most patients will need between 3 - 6 sessions . With our Picosecond laser, you are likely to need 3-6 sessions to remove your tattoo, leaving behind almost no trace (10-20 sessions would be needed with a traditional laser). With the Picosecond laser, treatments only needs to be done once every 8 weeks – so less often than with traditional lasers.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Simple answer is anyone over the age of 18 with a Tattoo they no longer want. Our lasers work effectively on all coloured ink and skin types. Game changer!
